for loop

delay() is a scourge upon Arduino, and a plague that we are largely free from over here in Espruino-land. delay() is horribly overused on Arduino, and it's only simpler for very basic cases - as soon as you start making things more complicated, you end up in a mess.

We have modern, sensible tools for non-blocking delays - setInterval(), setTimeout(), and setWatch() (for reacting to a pin change).

All of those tasks on Arduino would either block, or require a "blinkWithoutDelay" type approach

unsigned long lastBlink=0;
unsigned long turnOnLedAt=30000;
byte led1st=0;
byte led2st=0;
[#define](http://forum.espruino.com/sear­ch/?q=%23define) ledpin 13 
[#define](http://forum.espruino.com/sear­ch/?q=%23define) ledpin2 14 //note that there's no led connected here on normal arduino board

void loop() {
if (millis()+500 > lastBlink) {
led1st=!led1st;
digitalWrite(ledpin,led1st);
}
if (millis>turnOnLedAt && led2st==0) {
led2st=1;
digitalWrite(ledpin2,led2st);
}
}

vs Espruino:

ledpin1 = LED1;
ledpin2 = LED2;
var ledst=0;
function onInit () {
setTimeout("digitalWrite(ledpin2)",30000­); 
setInterval("ledst=!ledst;digitalWrite(l­edpin1,ledst);",500);
}

or

var ledst=0;
ledpin1 = LED1;
ledpin2 = LED2;
function onInit () {
setTimeout(function() {digitalWrite(ledpin2);},30000); 
setInterval(function() {ledst=!ledst;digitalWrite(ledpin1,ledst­);},500);
}
